Craft camp knits – two bonnies and a moneta mashup | Craftastrophies
https://craftastrophies.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/craft-camp-knits-two-bonnies-and-a-moneta-mashup
Craft: (old English) ‘power’. ‘strength’, ‘might’. Craft camp knits – two bonnies and a moneta mashup. June 17, 2015. June 14, 2015. I’m trying in general to be better about recording what I’ve made. Last craft camp I went to look up a pattern I’d made to check for adjustments, only to find that I’d blogged that I sewed it, and would blog the adjustments later. And then didn’t. Useless! Elna which she lets me use at camp wasn’t having a bar of it. Julie. Very kindly let me use her modern Bernina while sh...

A sewing blog without the sewing. First off, totally fine. Had surgery this (yesterday, now—er, three days ago in the. . .) morning, and am hobbling about relatively well. Answers to all manner of communication forthcoming, including finishing up answering comments to the last post. I am just breaking the rules all the time, reader. On to the post: I like doing experiments. Nooooooo. Not so much. It’s been illuminating. Did you know that you could diverge from your original plans? Here is my UFO tentativ...

In-House Patterns Diana #1 | sewniptuck
https://sewniptuck.com/2015/07/16/608
In-House Patterns Diana #1. Is described as a “fluid yet refined top”, sized in A-D cup. I just knew this fit would be tricky on me. Cos’ I’m the girl who likes things to fit like bespoke tailoring whilst being roomy enough to swing a tennis racquet with aplomb. So I cut out 3 x Dianas all at once. Why 3 when I haven’t even toiled the first? Well in for a penny in for a pound as they say and the same strategy worked out well for the Erin culottes. Sometimes one just has to commit. Great instructions and ...

We interrupt our normal programming… | sewniptuck

We interrupt our normal programming…. To bring you this excellent piece of wool wound in circles to make squares – ta da! Only 4 years in the making, this is the Babette blanket, designed by Kathy Merrick. The pattern can be bought on Ravelry here. Babette Blanket by Kathy Merrick. The finished size is about 110cm square(ish). I’d promised it to Princess for her boarding school bed, due circa 3 years ago. Why did it take so looooong? You’re probably desperate to know how I chose my colours? We were going...

Creates Sew Slow: October 2016
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 October 2016. So nearly four years after starting this blog I am writing my first post. I have just attended my second Design Outside the Lines retreat in Ashland, Oregon, USA with Diane Ericson and guest teacher Marla Kazell. This has provided sufficient impetus for me to finish setting up my blog and write something. Is this the start of something or a one hit wonder? Only time will tell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Creates Sew Slow: 2016 sewing retrospective - knit tops
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/2016-sewing-retrospective-knit-tops.html
Sunday, 1 January 2017. 2016 sewing retrospective - knit tops. Some of these were made for our trip back to the UK in May and I had the foolish idea that pictures could be taken of them out in the wild but it never happened. Others went to the States in October but still no pictures. Shirt tail hem variation. And here are the other versions. Long sleeve pattern variation. Original pattern in a Liberty cotton jersey. Not enough fabric - add a sleeve cuff. Left over red ponte with sleeve cuff. And a couple...

Culottes – actual garment photos incl. Recently I’ve lived the weekly version of annus horribilis – its a new soap opera by definition. There was a twinkling highlight though, I spoke at NSW Parliament House. Thanks for taking my pic hubby x. Behold – the culottes. Style Arc Erin. Twice to be precise. It was all about precision. Sallie-Oh posted a lovely rendition. First – in a fetching circloid japanese-y linen – purchased in Sapporo and saved for a sure thing…. If you’re tempted, the pattern lies!

Creates Sew Slow: 2016 sewing retrospective - woven tops
https://createssoslow.blogspot.com/2017/01/2016-sewing-retrospective-woven-tops.html
Saturday, 7 January 2017. 2016 sewing retrospective - woven tops. In doing these sewing retrospective posts as well as being surprised by how much I managed to sew last year I also noticed just how little sewing from years past is visible in my wardrobe. But those garments that are still in my wardrobe have been repeated or will be repeated in 2017. So on to the woven tops. Swirler top by Starfish. This top is a modification to the Starfish Swirler dress from the book Home Sewn. For these garments I lowe...
